The Prince and his guardian, the warrior-woman Qani, were towatch the battle from the safety of the hills, only entering the City if the outcome was in theirfavor. However, Muqari stealthily slipped away from Qani’s safe-keeping, apparently heading tothe City by himself. When Akdhar’s bodyguard, Tarkuhn, told the Emperor of the weaponSinbad carried — forged by the ancient Devil-gods of Mars — Akdhar panicked, locking himselfaway in his quarters. Meanwhile, Sinbad and his compatriot Kar-Tyr led the pirate army to smashthrough the City walls, battling Imperial Guards and Akdhar’s patrol-beasts, the Gorvars. AsSinbad faced off with Tarkuhn, a blood-curdling scream emanated from Akdhar’s chambers.Smashing through the door, Sinbad, Kar-Tyr and Tarkuhn were shocked to find Akdhar dead atthe hands of Prince Muqari — and even more stunned when the little Prince transformed in frontof them, revealing his true self: a monstrous Devil-god!
